A blogging virgin...

Hey Kids,

What else does an unemployed, thinking (well, sort of) person do at 11 pm at night but decide to start writing a BLOG! I've got all of these things blazing around in my migraine filled head, and there's no where for them to go... no wonder it hurts.

Just to recap the past few weeks for you....

I was working as an Human Resouces and Accounting Manager for a small solar installation company. I started in October making $31000 annually (or $15.00 hourly). As most of you know, if you have "Manager" in your title, you are generally considered an exempt employee, meaning you are paid a salary, and not an hourly wage. Well, the agreement I had with the owner was that I would accept this wage for 3 months, we would see how things went (there were several pay periods during that time where payroll was 3-4 days late due to cash flow issues), and we would me again on it in January. After finally cornering him in February, he agreed to meet with me. Met with him that afternoon, agreed on a number, I left his office, but the number thru with the knowledge of the other owner, then told John that I'd done it. Long story long. He claimed he didn't remember, said it wasn't a big deal. Left my office, came back, said he still didn't remember, kept escalating, kept saying no big deal, until 2 weeks later. I went into his office where he called me a liar, called me untrustworth, removed the checkbooks from my office...UNBELIEVEABLE. Was yelling and screaming at me, and I yelled and screamed back. He was flat out lying. Trying to bully me, and I wasnt going to let him do it. I was not going to back down.I knew at that point my days at GFT were limited, as I could no longer trust him. I will post an actual time line for these evens, as I'm sure I'll need them for unemployment court.

Whew... blogging is hard work!!!

Some other things I'd like to talk about...

Socialism vs Democracy

The Gay Mafia

How I can start being my OWN boss, and actually making MONEY at it. I know it can be done... HOW do I do it?

Alright kids, I'm getting sleepy again.

Nighty nighty.

Flip on your lava lights...
